Dress code in Kathleen Wynne’s office forbids miniskirts, halter tops

An unusual edict issued to Ontario Liberal political staff warns a dress code is in effect this summer.

The office of Premier Kathleen Wynne has put in place a summer dress code that rules out such clothing as tank tops and demands dresses and skirts have "appropriate" hemlines.

In an unusual edict issued to political staff this week on “what’s acceptable and unacceptable during the summer,” Wynne’s office warned a dress code is in effect at Queen’s Park.

“Dressing down is in fact business casual dress as described below. Be casual, rather than sloppy,” says the missive fired off to Liberal aides by Emily Marangoni, Wynne’s deputy director of human resources.

“Jeans are permitted if not tattered and well worn. Polo shirts, casual shirts and T-shirts are acceptable,” wrote Marangoni.
